ادامه مطلبAbstract. We present first results from Galaxy Zoo 2, the second phase of the highly successful Galaxy Zoo project (). Using a volume-limited sample of 13 665 disc galaxies (0.01 < z < 0.06 and M r < -19.38), we study the fraction of galaxies with bars as a function of global galaxy properties like colour, luminosity and bulge prominence. Overall, 29.4 ± 0.5 per cent of galaxies in our sample ...

ادامه مطلبThe P mg likelihoods are generally quite accurate, such that every galaxy in the Galaxy Zoo with P mg ≥ 0.6 has been found to show clear evidence of merging (Darg et al. 2009a). The probability that a galaxy is observed to be undergoing a merger or interaction is approximately uncorrelated with the environment except at scales of r p ∼ 100 ...

ادامه مطلبGalaxy Zoo is a citizen science project which provides a visual morphological classification for nearly one million galaxies in its first phase (Galaxy Zoo 1) distinguishing elliptical from spiral galaxies. With general public help, this project has obtained more than 4 × 1 0 7 individual classifications made by ∼ 1 0 5 participants. In its ...

ادامه مطلبGalaxy Zoo came out within a year of launch (Lintott et al. 2008, Land et al. 2008), and the total number of peer reviewed papers based on Galaxy Zoo data is now more than 30 (e.g see Table 1 of Masters 2012). They include among them work separating colour and morphology in the galaxy population (e.g. Bamford et al. 2009, Skibba et al. 2009,

ادامه مطلبThere's a paper by Ron Buta on Galaxy Morphology which cites the contributions of Galaxy Zoo (but perhaps not individual papers).

ادامه مطلبHistory of Galaxy Zoo. The launch of this new version of Galaxy Zoo, the 4th, comes just a few weeks after the site's 5th birthday. It all started back in July 2007, with a data set made up of a million galaxies imaged by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, who still provide some of the images in the site today.
ادامه مطلبMorphology is a powerful indicator of a galaxy's dynamical and merger history. It is strongly correlated with many physical parameters, including mass, star formation history and the distribution of mass. The Galaxy Zoo project collected simple morphological classifications of nearly 900 000 galaxies drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, contributed by hundreds of thousands of volunteers.

ادامه مطلبWhile this skepticism is reasonable, Galaxy Zoo shows that when volunteer contributions are correctly cleaned, debiased, and aggregated, they can produce high-quality results (Lintott et al. 2008). An important trick for getting the crowd to create professional-quality data is redundancy, that is, having the same task performed by many ...
ادامه مطلبABSTRACT We have used Galaxy Zoo DECaLS (GZD) to study strong and weak bars in disc galaxies. Out of the 314 000 galaxies in GZD, we created a volume-limited sample (0.01 < z < 0.05, Mr < − 18.96) which contains 1867 galaxies with reliable volunteer bar classifications in …
ادامه مطلبGalaxy Zoo is the first study of nearby galaxies that contains reliable information about the spiral sense of rotation of galaxy arms for a sizeable number of galaxies. We measure the correlation function of spin chirality (the sense in which galaxies appear to be spinning) of face-on spiral galaxies in angular, real and projected spaces.
ادامه مطلبGalaxy Zoo recruited volunteers to help with the largest galaxy data we ever had. Opening the project to the general public saved the professional astronomers the task of studying all the galaxies themselves. More than 40 million classifications …
ادامه مطلبWe propose a variant of residual networks (ResNets) for galaxy morphology classification. The variant, together with other popular convolutional neural networks (CNNs), are applied to a sample of 28790 galaxy images from Galaxy Zoo 2 dataset, to classify galaxies into five classes, i.e. completely round smooth, in-between smooth (between completely round and cigar-shaped), cigar-shaped …
ادامه مطلبWe study the spectroscopic properties and environments of red (or passive) spiral galaxies found by the Galaxy Zoo project. By carefully selecting face-on disc-dominated spirals, we construct a sample of truly passive discs (i.e. they are not dust reddened spirals, nor are they dominated by old stellar populations in a bulge). As such, our red spirals represent an interesting set of possible ...
